The mini-downhill format, masterminded by Naked Racing’s Chris Roberts, aims to make downhill racing more accessible to everyone who enjoys the sport. Sunday saw the first ever mini-enduro, Chris’ attempt to do the same for the Enduro format of bike racing. The race was held in Devon’s Haldon Forest Park, and despite the adverse weather conditions was attended by nearly 150 keen riders, from former world champion Gee Atherton down to people racing for the first time ever!

The second Heaven of the South Mountain Bike Endurance event takes place on 19-20 May in Kingswood, near Wotton-under-Edge, Gloucestershire.

HOTS is a fantastic opportunity to explore one of the most beautiful parts of the country on two wheels and raised over £4000 last year for local charities including Bristol Children’s Hospital. There will be a 75k and a 50k route and also Roller Racing, one of the highlights of last year's event.
